Empathy

His pale white face,

And miserable eyes;

Pushed everyone away,

With this disguise.

 

For the rumour was' that,

He'd caught a disease;

And if you got to close,

You'd be in the same shoes,

 

T'was only for a stranger,

who was fearless and kind;

and approached the sick man,

And listened to his mind.

 

And all that was wrong,

Was the man was depressed;

And he used drink and drugs,

To deal with his stress.

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

So much sad, beautiful truth here. Hooray for strangers who feel the pain of others. Sometimes no more than a kind word or two can make a person want to live again. Very strong writing, my friend.
